Hi guys, I received the Freerunner today and I went trough the same issues with a 128KB Vodafone SIM. All you have to do is to follow (as suggested) _carefully_ this guide [0] and I can confirm that your brad new vodafone SIM will start working properly.

Recommended SIM for Italy ?
Greetings OM-heads, I'm currently in Trieste for a seminar and brought my Freerunner here with me from the US. I bought a Vodaphone SIM which doesn't seem to work in my GTA02, but works in just every other phone I've put it in. Can anybody recommend a Euro SIM/carrier that is known to work in a GTA02, preferably if you know it works in Italy. Could this be an OS/distro problem? I'm running OM-2008-12 with Konfigurator. Are there any command-line utilities I can use to get diagnostics or info on the SIM itself ? The GUI simply says SIM missing or Not registered with no further details.

I live in Italy. I bought a new 128K Vodafone SIM about 3 months ago, but it didn't work with the Freerunner. Then I found an older 64K Vodafone SIM and it works well.

It is a 64K SIM, bought from a Vodafone shop in Trieste. I installed it yesterday, it asked for me to enter the PIN, which I did, but ever since then I simply get the single star for the GSM signal strength(I'm running Illume) and when I go to the Dialer to make a call, I get a SIM missing error(even though it's installed and locked into it's carrier). I put it into a friend's Nokia N95 and it works fine. I put his ATT SIM into my FR and it picked up the Wind network. I also tried the Vodafone 64K SIM in a ZTE 125 and it registered with a Slovenian Voda tower (some interesting multipath going on there) and was able to make calls/texts. So I'm thinking it has to be something with my FR. I've been using it for almost a month now with a T-Mobile SIM and this is the first time I've had a problem. I'll look at the GSM firmware flashing article on the Wiki. I think I'm going to go get another SIM, like a Wind or TIM and see if that works.
